Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wind and Snow

Boston is located in the northern hemisphere, which is considered to be in the frigid zone. Because of the influence of the Atlantic monsoon, the city is relatively rainy and snowy. The average annual rainfall is 42 inches, which is 108 centimeters. And the snowfall is also forty-two inches, which means that it snows here as much as it rains.

Especially in Winthrop, because it is close to the Atlantic Ocean, although there is a Gulf Stream, it is prone to foggy days in spring and early summer every year, and hurricanes and tropical storms are more prone to occur in early autumn. , also this year, but fortunately, Jiang Hai hadn't taken over here at that time, and in winter, it was also vulnerable to the northeast wind.

Sometimes after a blizzard, the amount of snowfall can reach twenty inches, that is, fifty centimeters thick.

As soon as people go out, the snow is almost knee-deep, so generally speaking, the weather here in Boston is not very satisfactory.

Jiang Hai used to only pay attention to this place as a treasure land, which can make his scales grow longer, but he completely forgot that the weather here is the same as usual. After finishing the busy work during the day, Jiang Hai went back to sleep at night. But in the middle of the night, he woke up from the cold. You know, with Jiang Hai's current physical fitness, he would wake up from the cold. It can be seen how low the temperature has been at this time, and he crawled out of bed in a daze After getting up, Jiang Hai faced the cold wind and walked to the ventilation window in his room, opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw snowflakes the size of a thumbnail, like cotton wool, falling from the air.

The cold wind caused snowflakes to scatter around Jiang Hai's manor. Jiang Hai probed out to have a look, and couldn't help shrinking his neck.

At this time, in his line of sight, apart from white, only white is left. At a glance, the lawn, the parking lot in front of the villa, the woods in the distance, including the coastline farther away, are all covered by snowflakes .

Who is it, it's so big? Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Hai muttered in a low voice. When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help shrinking his neck again. The wind came in from the window, and he felt like he was in his pajamas. The eggs are almost frozen.

Then he cursed secretly and closed the window. He is not someone who has never seen snow. It snows every year in the ice city, and sometimes it is much bigger than this. No matter how heavy the snow is, he I've seen it too, nothing to be curious about.

After closing the windows, Jiang Hai returned to the bed, hugged the quilt and continued to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night. When Jiang Hai woke up the next morning, he found that the heavy snow outside had finally stopped, but although the snow stopped, the whistling cold wind did not stop. Everyone knows that the wind at the seaside big.

Jiang Hai's manor is located by the sea, so the wind is naturally not small. The strong wind gathers, and the snowflakes, like a snowmaking machine, keep picking up the snowflakes that fell on the ground. When the sun shines, the snowflakes below If the snow melts, these snowflakes will turn into ice cubes. It is estimated that Jiang Hai will have to jump out of the window if he wants to go out.

Even at this time, just in the morning, countless small ice cubes have accumulated outside the eaves of the second floor of Jiang Hai. This is the snow that was melted by the sun in the morning. Before it turns into water and falls, it is frozen Bing Skate, this kind of situation is very common for Jiang Hai.

When he was young, he ate this thing, but now he dare not eat it, because it is very dirty.

Hey, boss, you're up! At this moment, a rough voice came from downstairs.

Jiang Hai stood in front of the window sill on the second floor, looked down, and saw Robbins, Harriman, and Edward in the distance, driving a small car, running out of the warehouse in the distance , This small car looks a bit like a forklift, but it is much smaller than a normal forklift. Jiang Hai has seen it in the warehouse before. According to Robbins, it is called a small snowplow. The one left by the previous owner can also be used as a tractor to plow the land when the front shovel is removed.

When necessary, put the shovel on and you can shovel snow. Jiang Hai didn't know much about this thing before, but now it seems that he bought the machine specifically to deal with the current situation.

Wait for me, I'll go down and help. Seeing the three people coming over, Jiang Hai also called upstairs, then went to the first floor, washed his face briefly, brushed his teeth, Jiang Hai turned upside down Clothes, although he is in good physical condition now, it does not mean that he is not afraid of the cold. In fact, the weather in the north is colder, but the northerners are also more afraid of the cold. Basically, people like Jiang Hai, if they are in China, they are in the north. If you live in the south, you will be frozen like a dog... In a place without heating, I really don't know how to live.

But now, Jiang Hai's room is still very comfortable, but he still needs to be fully armed to go out.

But when he opened the closet, he couldn't help but smack his teeth. Before it snowed, Jiang Hai really didn't feel too cold. After all, when he got up in the morning and went for a run, he would feel a little cold at first, but after running, It's warm.

So before it snowed, Jiang Hai, who stayed at home all day, didn't feel anything.

But now, when he was about to go out to work, he wanted to find thick clothes to wear, but found that he didn't seem to have any winter clothes...

When Jiang Hai came out from China, he didn’t bring any clothes, and he was not short of money at that time, so he only brought a few things to wear with him, and threw away the rest. Clothes, jackets, etc., were all bought after he arrived in the United States. Originally, these clothes were not thick, at most they were more windproof, or they were very comfortable when exercising, but now Jiang Hai has to go out to work , wearing this suit, he always felt a little flustered...

But there is no way, he has no other clothes to wear now. After thinking about it, he wore a sweater inside, a hoodie on the outside, and the thickest assault jacket on the outside. This is considered armed. Well, there are not many pants, one pair of sports pants, and another pair of outdoor pants. He doesn't know if it's cold or not, but at most he is dressed like this.

After everything was dressed, he specially changed into a pair of the thickest hiking shoes he had here, and then went out, but as soon as he opened the door, Jiang Hai couldn't help but freeze, it was too cold.

As for the two dogs who were still very interested in the outside world, they also calmed down at this time. They just came out to go to the toilet on the lawn, and then returned to the house, lying on the carpet, feeling the floor under the carpet. geothermal.

But compared to the dogs, Jiang Hai and his employees don't have such good benefits.

Hey, boss, you're really cool in what you're wearing. Seeing Jiang Hai's clothes, Robbins and the others couldn't help laughing.

Now these guys are not wearing thick clothes. Robbins is wearing a khaki woolen coat, which is very thick, and Harriman is wearing a down jacket that is not thin. Cotton clothes are rarely worn here. Because the people on their side have already completed the replacement. Although the cotton clothes are full and warm, there are many problems. One of the most important ones is that they are easy to get wet. This place is so close to the sea. Once the moisture returns, the cotton will be flat. It weighs three catties, and it doesn't have the effect of keeping warm, so here, the worst thing is to wear a down jacket. As for Edward, a rich person, he is more particular about what he wears. The leather jacket is not a mink, but a leather jacket. Leather clothes made of bear skin. Once upon a time, bears, wolves and the like were harmful in North America, just like killing wild boars when the country was first founded. These animals were not once protected animals.

So after being slaughtered in large numbers, the meat can be eaten, and the leather is naturally made into a coat. But now, the US emperor's protection of wild animals is not so good, such as bears, of course they cannot be hunted casually, of course , if it invades your home, or invades the manor, it is also possible to kill it, but it needs the approval of the authorities.

However, there are not many bears like this in the whole country. The bear fur jacket on Edward's body is obviously not new. It must have been around for more than ten or twenty years, but he has taken good care of it and it is still as shiny as new. , Sit on the car, Edward is half a head taller than Jiang Hai, and that big man looks more like a bear than a person.

Hiss, I don't have any clothes to wear. Let's work first. It will get hot in a while. I'll buy thick clothes when the place is cleaned up. Hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai shrugged and said helplessly, Hearing what Jiang Hai said, Robbins also laughed, and then several people started to work, first using a forklift to push out a snow track in the snow, and then using a shovel and a broom to clear the snow. Go to both sides, expose the middle path and you're done.

You can't expect to get all the snow out of the pasture. Let alone the manpower, it is not so easy to get the snow that has been frozen with the pasture. Qingxue is like this. Just fiddle with the ones in front of the door, and then fiddle with the ones on the road. At this time, Jiang Hai can't help but envy those people who are in the suburbs today.

At least they don't need to do this. The guys who live in those small villas on the outskirts of the city, the snow in front of the door is all handled by the cleaners, not like Jiang Hai's manor, where he needs to do it himself.

Fortunately, the snow has just finished falling, and no one is stepping on it, and the snow is not as thick as the legend says, only about ten centimeters, and it is relatively fast to clear. A group of four people, first shovel a snow, and then two Use a shovel, and two use a broom. They are all old men. After a short time, the snow on the ground has been almost cleared. In less than an hour, the main road on Jiang Hai’s side has been solved. Then Busy cleaning up towards the residential area.
